Chaos erupted on Thursday as Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats stormed out of a hearing to advance Trump’s Third Circuit Court nominee Emil Bove.
Senate Judiciary Democrats launched an 11th hour attack on Emil Bove and demanded the Committee to allow Erez Reuveni, a disgruntled fired DOJ official to testify against Bove.
According to a 27-page letter submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee through Reuveni’s, lawyers, Emil Bove, the principal associate deputy attorney general, said during a mid-March meeting that the Trump Administration would ignore court orders from radical judges if they interfered with President Trump’s immigration policies.
“Bove stated that DOJ would need to consider telling the courts ‘fuck you’ and ignore any such court order,” Reuveni’s attorneys wrote in the 27-page complaint first reported by The New York Times. “Mr. Reuveni was stunned by Bove’s statement because, to Mr. Reuveni’s knowledge, no one in DOJ leadership — in any Administration — had ever suggested the Department of Justice could blatantly ignore court orders, especially with a ‘fuck you.’”
The stunt failed after Grassley shut it down. GOP Senator Tillis, viewed as a ‘swing vote’ on the committee also supported Bove and voted to advance his nomination.
Senator Cory Booker began shouting at Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) ahead of the committee vote.
“This lacks decency! It lacks decorum! It shows that you do not want to simply hear from your colleagues! This is us simply trying to rush through one of the most controversial nominees we’ve had under this presidential administration!” Booker shouted as Mazie Hirono and other Democrats stood up and walked out in protest.
Cory Booker accused Grassley of ‘listening to Trump’ and violating the decorum.
Booker also shouted through the votes to advance Bove and Jeanine Pirro.

Grassley blasted the Democrats after they walked out during the Emil Bove nomination vote.
“What happened here today is no different than when Democrats cut off debate on Judge Kasubhai and Judge Lee against Republican protest to continue debate…”
